"We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. We must acquire proficiency in defense and display stamina in purpose." - President Eisenhower, First Inaugural Address

Join us as we discuss the state of the United States Merchant Marine with Fred Fry of FredFryInternationalfor the first half-hour. We'll discuss everything from where we get our Merchant Mariniers to the now infamous Jones Act. For the second half of the show we will have returning guest Mark Stanovich, LtCol, USMCR. We'll pivot and discuss the latest run on the USMC's core mission and plans for a dramatic reduction in the Corps, along with a few other interesting subjects.
